One of my favorite books. I have never read a book where a main character is a tree.

Devilishly hilarious book with an amazing premise that is just so brilliantly realised.

Not exactly earth-shattering...but as an entertaining bathroom book-nee-basic history resources, it does the job with a bit of style.

http://threedollarbillreviews.com/201... The possibilities are endless when you combine science fiction and sexual ambiguity, the ability to choose your own gender or not have to pick just one. The five stories in this anthology each take a very different approach, but each invariably plays with the restrictive limits that society places on gender. Here nothing is as simple as female or male, or being stuck with the gender you're born with when you know with every cell in your body that it's the wrong gender. These stories provide a more fluid approach to gender identity and sexual awareness that is sometimes serious and touching and at other times playful and over the top. "Only for Myself: Japan, 2043" by Zachary Jernigan introduces Masami who is enjoying a brilliant orgasm when she is interrupted by young 'herman' Katsumi who wants to share the experience with her. This is a futuristic tale with a twist, where people can be rewired, and our main character, with the help of a pill, conjures up Masa who answers Masami's ultimate desires. The story is a play on the teacher/student dynamic where the young student doesn't understand the relationship the teacher is in, and the teacher is unwilling to give up the relationships that fulfills all her needs. "Fair Play" by David D. Levine is a quick fire conversation between two people, one being a very unusual girl with a new adaptation that she decides to play with. The conversation goes back and forth very quickly and is over before you know it, and it's easy to miss something if you're not paying attention. In just a few pages, Levine sets up an alluring premise that sends the imagination running wild to fill in more details once the conversation ends. "Transplant" by Ellen Tevault is based in a futuristic world where the US is split into the Right Republic and the New Repbulic, where all of the 'freaks' have been sent. The story focuses on Katrina, formerly Lance, as she reflects back on her life leading to where she has been matched for a sex reassignment transplant. Her match is Chad, and when they meet just before their surgeries they decide to spend the night together, getting to know one another better. Katrina and Chad come from very different backgrounds, but they bond over the shared desire to change their bodies so they can feel complete. "Passage" by Anya Levin begins the night before Maya's Second Passage as she worries that her partner Sira will no longer be attracted to her after the change. They enjoy each other and celebrate one another, while Sira reassures Maya that their love will remain, despite how Maya is changed. No details of the technicalities of the Second Passage are given, and what this story focuses on instead is the emotional and physical changes that result and the bond between two people that overcomes. The final story "The Ontolocial Engine, or, the Modern Leda" by Vinnie Tesla is set in the Victorican era, and Daedalus Tesla is carrying out bold experiments using a Ontological Engine, powered by the 'Vital Energies' emitted upon sexual orgasm. It's impossible to anticipate what this story holds in store for readers and it is a unique tale filled with twists and turns, orgasmic peaks and the generation of new and strange creatures. The voice and style of the story is perfectly in tune with a Victorian novel and it's impossible to avoid making comparisons to The Prestige. The ending is shocking yet humorous and ends the anthology on a high note. All of the stories in Up for Grabs are very well written and quite thought provoking. Each author has a thrilling take on exploring the world of gender, and the stories are all intensely erotic and some are beautifully romantic. It's impossible to anticipate what's coming next with any of these stories, and that's a large part of the fun while reading. You simply sit back and enjoy the wild ride as the stories just get better and better. My personal favorites from this collection are "Transplant" and "Passage," each of which explores a world where there is a unique option available to transgendered individuals. Each story delves into the emotional needs of the person to have a body that matches the soul, and the ramifications of making that change on other relationships. In "Transplant," Katrina has been disowned by her mother while Chad's mother is the exact opposite. In "Passage," Maya is concerned about her lover still being attracted to her new body. The physical changes are one thing, but these stories choose to delve into the other changes that are inevitable and as such are extremely engaging and moving. This is a wonderful anthology with stories that cover a wide spectrum yet each share a common theme. Readers who are open to the flexibility of gender will surely enjoy this collection of stories. These stories will stay with you for some time after reading, and I definitely recommend this book.

The second book yet again grabbed me by the arm and dragged me into the complex world of the Fae, where alliances are tested and things aren't always as they seem. Julie Kagawa has done yet another amazing job with research and writing that makes you /feel/. A great book to be sure!

When two young girls, Sally and Gillian, are orphaned it is Sally (who is wise beyond her years) that calls her aunts (white witches) and says that she and her sister are coming to live with them. The girls spend their childhood as targets for taunts and pranks of the other townschildren simply because no one understands them and associates them with the Owens women who have been rumored to be witches. Indeed they are witches, of the benevolent kind. The girls get a view of hypocrasy when every evening the women of the town come to the back door of the aunts' house and beg and plead for a spell to bring them true love. But as Aunt Bridget cautions, "Be careful what you wish for". In an effort to save herself from heartbreak young Sally vows never to fall in love; Gillian, however, "can't wait to fall in love". As they grow both girls can't wait to be free from the aunts. Gillian runs off with a young man and works her way through three husbands. Sally finds herself deeply in love with a local man. They marry and have two lovely daughters but alas, Sally's husband meets with an untimely death. She moves herself and her daughters back to the aunts house and suffers a year-long bout of depression. She vows yet again to take keep her daughters from harm and herself from love. To that end she moves her small family to Long Island, a place where she feels they can be normal. One night Gillian arrives at the Long Island house with the body of her dead boyfriend in the car. In an effort to cover up the deed (an overdose of a potent natural drug), Sally helps Gillian bury the body in her yard. That's when strange and potentially evil things start to happen. It takes a visit by the aunts along with some strong magic to dispell the strange happenings and bring true love to both Gillian and Sally. I enjoyed this book immensely. Tightly woven story, lyrical prose, a bit of humor, lots of magic, and charismatic characters. Like other reviewers I wanted to finish this book in one sitting. It is definitely a page-turner. Hoffman has a definite winner in this book. Also recommended: The Probable Future by Alice Hoffman

Perhaps the most beautiful book written in English. "light of my life, fire of my loins. My sin, my soul." Gives me shivers.

Küçük Altın Kitap sürümüm var *. Yıllar önce hikayenin ırkçı olduğu hakkında bir çırpınış olduğunu hatırlıyorum, ama eğer öyleyse, bana işaret etmeliydim. Kitabı akılda tutarak tekrar okudum, ancak hikayenin kahramanı cesur ve akıllı olan küçük bir siyah çocuk olan Sambo. Hikayenin en yaratıcı kısmı, kaplanların tereyağa dönüşecekleri kadar çabuk kovalamalarıdır! * Bunun daha yeni bir sürüm olduğunu ve orijinalden kökten farklı olabileceğini anlıyorum.
